v2.0.1

Version: 2.0.1

This update introduces a few bug fixes and corrections

On a different note. MLX42 was extensively used at the Codam Hackathon in March and it was viewed with a lot of positivity.
Thank you to everyone who used it and reported their feedback!

Feature Summary

• Added mlx_set_instance_depth to set the Z value properly.
• Added batched rendering to improve the performance!
• Implemented new scripts so that the dependency on python can be removed.
• Improved the detection of homebrew.
• Some more stuff I forgot :D

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a memory leak on image deletion.
• Fixed mlx_errno to be extern instead.

PRs Merged

• Proof-of-concept: Batched rendering by @Techdaan in #19
• Implement batched rendering by @W2Wizard in #21 (Integration of #19)
• Replace compile_shader script with bash variant by @FreekBes in #18
• Add generic homebrew path finding option to work with custom homebrew… by @vincentvis in #22

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...V2.0.1

v2.0.0

Version: 2.0.0

This update is a major jump from v1.0.0, as of now MLX42 will no longer follow the norme as explained and mentioned in the announcement #16. Needles to say this makes incompatible API changes.

Feature Summary

• Added mlx_put_string.
• Switched to using error codes instead, code won't have to be rewritten, instead you can now get the error if any occured via mlx_strerror and g_mlx_errno instead of having the error directly omitted onto the terminal.
• Added proper makefile support to windows
• General improvement in peformance and rendering
• Improved stability and error handling
• Re-wrote the implementation of hooks to be more clean
• Renamed mlx_putpixel to mlx_put_pixel to stay consistent with naming the convention.
• Improved documentation for the internal header
• Some more stuff I forgot :D

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug in the XPM3 -> XPM42 converter, sometimes some text values would not convert correctly.
• Fixed an issue in the python script shader converter.
• Fixed a bug that would cause the application to crash when minimizing the window on Windows.
• Fixed a bug where mlx_get_monitor_size would not return 0 if it did not find a monitor.
• Fixed an issue where deletion of an image would cause a segfault.

v1.0.0

Initial release 🎉

After a more than a month of work into this project I can proudly say that it is ready to be used for any kind of project in a stable condition. Hope there are no bugs that I have not heard of :D

Feature Summary

• Fully norme (except the libraries used)
• Covers almost all features compared to the original MiniLibX.
• Useful image manipulation functions.
• Stable, leak free PNG importing via lodepng.
• XPM42 Support with added converter (XPM3 -> XPM42).
• Improved performance.
• Built-In support for keycodes and simple key detection.
• Window resizability, callback detection & ability to resize images.
• Fully Cross-platform (MacOS, Windows & Linux)
• Automatic window focus on startup
• No Leaks, compiles with -fsanitize=address

Todo

• String to window
• Some additional callbacks
• Improve performance
